Julia Roberts Scores “Snow White” Evil Queen Role

Julia Roberts Scores “Snow White” Evil Queen Role

She’s very selective with her movie roles these days, and Julia Roberts has signed on to star as the Queen in the upcoming “Snow White” film.

The “Pretty Woman” babe will begin shooting the flick, based on the Brothers Grimm fable, this coming April.

Unlike the classic tale, this incarnation of “Snow White” is a more modern-edged take, with Snow White looking for a payback along with the help of her seven dwarves.


Relativity Media, the production company behind the film, has announce they’re shooting for a June 29th, 2012 release date.

Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

 Julia Roberts Really Wants Javier Bardem To Get An Oscar Nomination

Julia Roberts thinks that her Eat, Pray, Love co-star, Javier Bardem is so deserving of an Oscar nomination for his role in Biutiful that she even hosted a special screening of the movie for a select industry crowd, according to EW.com. Roberts spoke to EW and said of the reason why she thinks that Bardem has been mostly overlooked so far this awards season;

I think the movie hasn’t gotten the exposure. You don’t know where it is. It’s like this hidden little jewel. Especially in this particular season, people don’t hunt for things. They just take what you throw in their face.

Well I think that can be said about most seasons to be honest, it’s normally the movies with the biggest ‘campaign’s’ that tend to be the ones with the most nominations. When asked if she though Bardem will be able to score a best actor nod, she said;

If there’s not hope for talent, then we’re f—ed.

I haven’t seen Biutiful, so I can’t comment on whether he’s deserving or not of a nomination. Have you seen it, what do you think?

I Came, I Saw, and I Conquered Your Ridiculous Penchant for Eat, Pray, Love

 

Life favors the strong and the purposeful, not the overfed and the pathetic:

WHEN Julia Roberts got word that Ryan Murphy planned to turn the best-selling memoir “Eat, Pray, Love” into a movie, she had a fast response: “Who?” You know, her agent explained, the guy who created “Nip/Tuck,” that sick and twisted plastic surgery show. “Oh, the ‘Nip/Tuck’ guy, that pricked up my ears a little,” Ms. Roberts recalled.
How had a man with almost no film experience wormed his way into directing a big, juicy movie? Curious, she agreed to meet Mr. Murphy at a Malibu restaurant and realized the answer before the first Arnold Palmers arrived. “I fell totally under his spell,” Ms. Roberts said. “We’re sort of like best girlfriends now.”
Mr. Murphy is nothing if not seductive. Self-assured to the point of cockiness, a wicked sense of humor, scary-ambitious yet charmingly eager to please, fashion-forward: it’s an intoxicating brew. Not to mention the literal light-headedness you feel standing near him. This is not a man who is bashful about his Yves Saint Laurent cologne.

I wish Julia Roberts would do a kick ass action film. I want to see her throwing grown men down flights of stairs and shooting rocket propelled grenades into office buildings, something tasteful but fast-paced. These weepy movies for fat girls aren't doing so well. (celebritydisaster)

Julia Roberts Visits "Live with Regis and Kelly"

She’s always good for a promotional appearance, and earlier today (August 9) Julia Roberts was spotted paying a visit to “Live With Regis and Kelly” in New York City.

The award-winning actress flashed her infamous smile behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she made her way inside ABC Studios - greeting her adoring fans along the way.

Ms Roberts has been out fulfilling promo duties for her film, “Eat Pray Love,” in which she's constantly been asked about the “Eat” aspect and - in a recent interview - she told, “I gained under 10 pounds for this movie. Let’s set the record straight because I’ve read it was much, much more.”

She continued, “I packed on the pounds during the Italy part of the shoot, but then people said, ‘Oh, you’ll lose it when you film in India.’

Laughing, Julia added, “Somehow, I didn’t get that memo.”  (Hollywood Gossip)

Julia Roberts Brings the Quote of the Day

Julia Roberts brings us a brief and simple thought:

‘Men don’t care what a woman looks like naked. It’s more about, ‘There’s a naked woman here with me.’

… says Julia.

Do you  guys agree with her?

Julia Roberts: Elle September 2010

Julia Roberts is on the Cover of Elle September 2010 Edition and here she clears some misconceptions regarding botox for which women are going crazy these days to just look young. She talked to Elle where she talked about her acting skills, working with directors, On botox/the plastic surgery trend in Hollywood and much more.

Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

On her acting skills: “I have no acting technique. And there’s nothing more boring than actors sitting around talking about acting.”

On working with directors: “I’m always asking those guys to tell me what they want. The same with George Clooney. ‘Name it for me,’ I tell him, ‘and I’ll do it.’”

On botox/the plastic surgery trend in Hollywood: “It’s unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don’t even give themselves a chance to see what they’ll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I’ll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy, and when I’m confounded. Your face tells a story… and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.”
